Key result
Hemoglobin level was independently and positively associated with both systolic (β = 0.082, p < 0.001) and diastolic (β = 0.168, p < 0.001) blood pressure in a Chinese community-dwelling population.
Why the study?
Is hemoglobin level associated with blood pressure in a Chinese community-dwelling population with normal glucose metabolism?
Observational
Is hemoglobin level associated with blood pressure in a Chinese community-dwelling population with normal glucose metabolism?

Hemoglobin levels are independently and positively associated with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a Chinese population with normal glucose metabolism.
This study investigated the relationship between hemoglobin (Hb) level and blood pressure in a Chinese community-dwelling population with normal glucose metabolism. Hb, fasting plasma glucose, glycated Hb A1c, hepatic and renal function, lipid, electrolytes, and anthropometric parameters were measured. Hb level was found to be positively correlated with systolic (SBP; r = 0.075, p < 0.001) and diastolic (DBP; r = 0.272, p < 0.001) blood pressure in the cohort. The relationship was not affected by age, BMI, serum creatinine (Cr), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in both males and females. Multivariate stepwise regression showed that age (β = 0.556, p < 0.001), BMI (β = 1.107, < 0.001), Hb (β = 0.082, p < 0.001), Cr (β = –0.032, p < 0.001), and LDL (β = 1.023, p < 0.001) were independent factors for SBP, and Hb (β = 0.168, p < 0.001), BMI (β = 0.519, p = 0.001), and LDL (β = 0.331, p < 0.001) for DBP. Hb level is positively associated with both SBP and DBP in a Chinese community-dwelling population with normal glucose metabolism.

Xuan et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Normal glucose metabolism. Hemoglobin level was evaluated on Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP: β = 0.082; DBP: β = 0.168, p=< 0.001). Hemoglobin level was independently and positively associated with both systolic (β = 0.082, p < 0.001) and diastolic (β = 0.168, p < 0.001) blood pressure in a Chinese community-dwelling population.
